In March, the Trump administration took its most blatantly anti-worker, anti-union action yet: an executive order stripping the right to organize from hundreds of thousands of federal workers at more than 30 agencies.
Now representatives in Congress have introduced the bipartisan Protect America’s Workforce Act, which would overturn Trump’s executive order.
We are asking every single American who cares about the fundamental freedom of all workers to join a union to call their member of Congress right now.
SB 1: The Worst Attack on Working People Since SB 5
Senate Bill 1 has passed the Ohio Senate and will now head to the House. Senate Bill 1 is the worst attack on collective bargaining rights since Senate Bill 5, the unfair, unsafe law in 2011 that would have hurt us all.
SB 1 attacks workers' rights by limiting what can be collectively bargained in a contract and banning strikes for faculty. We know from past attacks that anti-worker politicians love to carve out groups of workers and curtail their rights, before eventually expanding that attack to all workers. If this bill passes, every public sector union member – including teachers, library workers, and children’s services social workers – in Ohio should be prepared for similar attacks on their union rights.
